"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are" -T. Roosevelt

I’m a California native and I have an affinity for dogs and the outdoors. I'm also *slightly* addicted to coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people from all over our world.

Interests

I like being on trails whether it's running or hiking, meeting new people and learning new things. I am fascinated by other languages and cultures. Animals make me endlessly happy, and I'm hoping to own quite a bit of my own in the future. I enjoy live music, stand-up comedy and being with my family.
